Sunday, 29 April, 2018

"A formal complaint has been submitted.to inquire into entire matter including the possibility of foul play which led to technical slag, failure of autopilot and failure of rudders, which is completely unprecedented", Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said.

The aircraft reportedly had made a rough landing at Hubballi airport on Thursday.

India's main opposition Congress party on Thursday demanded a probe into what it called "suspicious and faulty" performance of a chartered plane that was flying party leader Rahul Gandhi to southern India.

"It is a very serious incident for us, but only time will tell if the complaint is taken seriously by the government as well", he told PTI. Currently, the state capital Bengaluru alone, which is home to over 750 multinationals and 2,000 IT firms, contributes about 40 per cent of the total IT exports done by the country.

As part of the probe, the official said the panel would call cockpit crew and also engineers for questioning about the incident.

"We are committed to address the urban housing challenge and propose to build 15 lakh houses (3 lakh houses per year) for the people of the state", it said.

A senior DGCA official yesterday confirmed that the aircraft had suffered a "technical snag". "It was snag of autopilot mode and pilot shifted to manual mode and landed safely", said DGCA chief BS Bhullar.
